The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published a new guidance that reviews an image phantom tool designed for low-contrast medical image quality assessment.
The paper provides information on a phantom developed by the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) for testing equipment. It was created to allow regulators, radiologists, other physicians, CT technologists, and medical physicists to assess low-contrast detectibility as a function of radiation dose, according to NEMA.
